Steve Cook

Freelance writer and product review specialist Steve Cook is a musician with decades of experience in the music world as a worldwide touring and session musician, songwriter, and producer. His love for bass guitar fuels his creative fire, with a good Telecaster being a close second. He attended University of Southern Mississippi, and his former band, King Konga was the most successful unsuccessful band in the ’90s—they landed a spot at Woodstock ’99, but couldn't land a record deal. Steve also produces and shoots video from demos to full-length music videos, and is a ghostwriter of memoirs. Steve maintains balance in writing and song creation with lots of single origin coffee.
